It now appears that the IBF eliminator at lightheavy between ex-WBA titlist Gabriel Campillo and IBF I/C ruler Karo Murat will go ahead October 1 but where is not certain.

Micallef Promotions in Malta will stage the first sanctioned professional boxing event ever on this tiny Meditterranean island late October. The show will future eight fights and if all goes to plan they will future at least four local fighters. The main fights, a female fight for a WIBA world title and a contest for the WBF I/C bauble, will feature imported talents. There´s been professional boxing in Malta before but none with a sanctioning body behind. The newly formed Malta Boxing Commission is a full member of the EBU. The MBC is involved in the promotion as well which may not be what it should be but then again this is quite common in boxing in Europe.
